2 parts resentment
1 part pleasant façade
A dash of memory
Mix well.
Add 3 parts criticism, sliced and diced (optional)
Sauté in a broken heart and mind.
Slowly add equal parts shame and guilt.
Fold gently. Let settle covered overnight . . . or longer (The longer it rests, the more potent it becomes.)
In the morning, beat in enough sugar to cover the bitterness that has risen to the top.
Bake in individual tins. Take one, share one, and freeze the rest to take out when needed . . or not.
